“Late summer is a great time to visit the garden, with roses, miscanthus, berberis, sedums, heleniums and, of course, dahlias, all providing sumptuous colour well into autumn. The Jay Robin Rose garden – with its 750 plus David Austin English roses – continues to stop visitors in their tracks with its colour and fragrance, and contrasts well with the adjacent Blue Borders. These are where Symphyotrichum ‘Little Carlow’, S. ‘Monch’ and Aconitum carmichaelii Arendsii group all take centre stage at this time of year.

“And don’t miss to explore the ‘garden rooms’ especially the Mid Summer Border, Italian Garden and Paradise Walk, a perennial border recently designed by Chris Beardshaw with plantings including Agastache ‘Blue Boa’, Geranium ‘Rozanne’, Eriophyllum lanatum and Actaea ‘James Compton.’”

Visitors will also be able to enjoy more than 80 sculptures being exhibited throughout the Garden until the end of September, and there are panoramic views over the lakes and 200 acres of rolling parkland to enjoy.
